Re: [Digital BW] HP Z3100 Vivera Grey in R1800

2008-12-10 by Ernst Dinkla

Paul,

I wonder what the Dmax of Vivera MK could be with the 1.5 
picoliter droplet of the R1800 compared to the 6 picoliter 
on the MK head of the Z3100 Z2100 and possibly the B9180 
though the last may have smaller droplets from the same head 
model, no 1.5 at all though.

When the use of quad inks in the Z3100 was discussed on the 
LL forum I mentioned some (2) matte media presets that have 
that MK,PK,MG, LG and the rest of the matte media presets is 
done with MK,MG,LG. I'm now printing newspaper stock for a 
dummy newspaper and the plain paper media preset for it uses 
MK,PK,MG and no LG. Ink limitation 20 compared to up to 60 
for the best quality matte paper coatings. Given the print 
quality, paper "gray" and the fast bleeding of the newspaper 
stock a good choice to drop the LG from the preset.

-- 
Met vriendelijke groeten,  Ernst
